    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>Thanks for suggestions, I think 'Creating a dashboard in Grafana'
      is the right way to go.</p>
    <p>Let me explain my motivation here, I was reading the doc as an
      idiot (which i found worryingly easy yesterday). If I don't know
      what Grafana is, then mention of 'Grafana dashboards' or 'adding
      dashboards to Grafana' prompts a question 'what is Grafana?'. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I think we want to mention Grafana, for many reasons, but I hope
      that 'Creating a dashboard in Grafana' prompts the question 'where
      is Grafana?' and that users unfamiliar with the name will intuit
      it as an App/Location instead of a new piece in a poorly fitting
      jigsaw.</p>
    <p>(Jose, I like your addition of context, mentioning the metrics
      service, but I'm hoping that will be obvious to the user by
      location of the Grafana topics and the introductory text.)<br>
    </p>

                    cover already as I'm about to ask people to name
                    things<br>
                    <br>
                    You don't add a table to Postgres, you add a table
                    to a database,<br>
                    <br>
                    You don't Firefox a web site.<br>
                    <br>
                    and in general, you don't add &lt;item&gt; to
                    &lt;product&gt;, you add &lt;item&gt; to<br>
                    &lt;function or component&gt;<br>
                    <br>
                    so, I don't like the phrase 'adding a dashboard to
                    Grafana'<br>
                    <br>
                    I suppose we might 'add a dashboard to the Grafana
                    instance', but that<br>
                    seems wordy,<br>
                    <br>
                    And everyone is busy, so I'm going to say either:<br>
                    <br>
                    a) add a dashboard to the Grafana instance<br>
                    <br>
                    b) add a dashboard to &lt;AeroGear Reports&gt;<br>
                    <br>
                    Note: I've spoken to a few ppl about this, and
                    they're looking at me<br>
                    funny, but I'd like to point out that this is what
                    I'm basing my view on<br>
                    the fact that a dashboard is not supposed to be a
                    mere visualization:<br>
